Artis' Tutorial Pack ARTIS is a team of the GRAVIR - IMAG research lab. They released some tutorials which show Ogre from the research-side. If you want to use Ogre as a platform for their research in Computer Graphics or these tutorials seem interesting to you - check it out! Introduction - Installing Ogre Tutorial1 - Displaying and manipulating a scene Tutorial2 - Using Ogre's facilities for debugging Tutorial3 - Assembling a nice scene Tutorial4 - Rendering your own stuff

Older Tutorials These tutorials have been around for ages, and some of them may still work. These have caused problems before when they fall out of date with the current Ogre release. Feel free to give these tutorials a try, and post in the Ogre Help Forum if you run into difficulty. Or take some time and update them!

Intermediate Tutorials These tutorials each cover a specific aspect of using Ogre. Note that these are kept as simple as possible. In some cases, good Object Oriented design is discarded for the sake of simplicity and clarity (though we will always try to point these design flaws out).

• Intermediate Tutorial 1 : Animation, Walking Between Points, and Basic Quaternions
• Intermediate Tutorial 2 : RaySceneQueries and Basic Mouse Usage (Part 1 of 2)
• Intermediate Tutorial 3 : Mouse Picking (3D Object Selection) and SceneQuery Masks (Part 2 of 2)
• Intermediate Tutorial 4 : Volume Selection and Basic Manual Objects
• Intermediate Tutorial 5 : Static Geometry
• Intermediate Tutorial 6 : Projective Decals
• Intermediate Tutorial 7 : Render to texture (RTT)

In Depth Tutorials These basic tutorials go further in depth into the specifics of a topic, and may not present a complete application from start to end as many of the other tutorials do. These are where you should go when you are more interested in a single topic.
